Package: reprotest
Version: 0.6
Severity: normal
Hi,
I was investigating why reprotest would report a reproducible build,
but still produce a different executable than when compiling directly.
After several tests (and then more) I eventually tracked it to HOME
being invariably non-existant in reprotest
(HOME=/nonexistent/first-build and HOME=/nonexistent/second-build),
while my normal compilation environment has an existing home (duh!).
This caused a subtle bug when cross-compiling with mingw and
wine-binfmt:
- existing home: ./configure attempts to run conftest.exe, wine can
create '.wine', conftest.exe runs OK, configure assumes:
checking whether we are cross compiling... no
- non-existing home: ./configure attempts to run conftest.exe, wine
can't create '.wine', conftest.exe fails, configure assumes:
checking whether we are cross compiling... yes
The respective binaries were very different notably due to a different
config.h.
(and now I understand why one should specify both --host *and* --build
when cross-compiling from autoconf ahah..)
To detect this issue, and probably others, I'd suggest making the
control build's HOME point to an existing directory.
Cheers!
Sylvain

* Support >2 builds using the new --extra-build flag.
* Properly sanitize artifact_pattern to avoid arbitrary shell execution.
